Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Instantaneous Battle

"Over there!"Lis pointed at the Moon Spirit Leopard's location and warned his teammates. Guided by Lis's hint, Arsen and the others spotted the Moon Spirit Leopard, and Ailina immediately charged towards the target. As the most agile member of the squad, it was her responsibility to restrain the Moon Spirit Leopard. However, since it was daytime, the leopard's stealth abilities were significantly reduced, and her speed was not affected. Ailina was confident she could hold the Moon Spirit Leopard back. By holding it off for just one minute, her teammates would be able to catch up with her and kill the fearsome Magic Beast together. The Moon Spirit Leopard, hidden in the shadows, realized it had been exposed when it saw the group charging in its direction. Without any hesitation, it turned tail and ran. The rugged rocks around it didn't impede its movements at all; with a light touch on a stone, it leaped down from the hilltop and ran towards the base of the mountain. The threat these few humans posed to it was far greater than those who had chased it before. Instinct warned the Moon Spirit Leopard that it must not be entangled with these people.

Seeing the Moon Spirit Leopard so decisive, not even pausing for a moment to fight, Arsen and the others cursed under their breath and hastened their steps towards the leopard. However, their speed was clearly no match for the Magic Beast; only Ailina the Hunter and Ya'er of the Golden Rank could barely keep up. "Increase speed!" Following Lis's chant, a Spell of Spirit Light caught up with Ailina and Ya'er, and their bodies moved much faster. "Well done." Ailina couldn't help but give Lis a thumbs up and hurriedly accelerated towards the Moon Spirit Leopard. Once within her attack range, Ailina stowed her short sword into her storage ring and drew her longbow, which glowed with an emerald light. "Thorny Net!" Accompanied by a streak of green light, an arrow cut through the air towards the Moon Spirit Leopard on the run. The Moon Spirit Leopard seemed to sense the attack coming from behind and with a nimble leap into the air, it dodged Ailina's shot. But Ailina's arrow was clearly not so simple. The long arrow fell to the ground beneath the Moon Spirit Leopard, and with a flash of green light, a net of dark green thorny vines burst from the ground, forming a wide net that enveloped the Moon Spirit Leopard. The Moon Spirit Leopard, unable to gain traction in midair, was helplessly caught in the thorny net. Although the thorns couldn't harm its tough skin and it quickly shredded the net with its sharp claws, the brief delay was enough for the group to close in on the beast. Ailina was the first to approach, swinging her longbow and shooting three arrows towards the Moon Spirit Leopard. "Marked Shooting!" "Shock Shooting!" "Binding Shot!" Ailina's three consecutive shots aimed not at inflicting significant damage on the Moon Spirit Leopard but at controlling the beast as much as possible while waiting for support from her teammates. The Moon Spirit Leopard that had just escaped the thorny net failed to evade Ailina's three arrows. They struck it squarely on the backside facing her, eliciting a painful roar from the beast, clearly slowing its movements. It seemed the Moon Spirit Leopard realized it couldn't escape from Lis and his team's hunt today. It turned around, its amber eyes seemingly veiled in a layer of blood as it gave up running and charged directly towards Ailina. The reduced speed appeared to be negated as the Moon Spirit Leopard entered a berserk state, with a black shadow rapidly assailing Ailina. "Be careful!" Ya'er, who was just slightly behind, called out. Ailina didn't panic, skillfully performing a Hunter's lifesaving Divine Skill, "Jumping Skill." Pale blue Wind Elements swirled around the Elf, her body leaped high backwards, avoiding the Moon Spirit Leopard's assault while bending her bow to shoot at it. "Blast Shooting!" The Moon Spirit Leopard dodged the arrow by a swift move to the right and continued its charge towards Ailina, having realized that if it didn't take care of Ailina, escape from this pursuit would be impossible. The Hunter's tracking and control capabilities were too strong! However, the Moon Spirit Leopard's plans were about to be thwarted. Ya'er finally arrived on the scene in the nick of time, drawing her black longsword and slashing at the incoming Moon Spirit Leopard. Bang! The Moon Spirit Leopard was sent flying back even faster than when it had arrived, landing on the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust. Even though the Moon Spirit Leopard was a Silver High-level Magic Beast, only a hair's breadth from the Golden Rank, Silver Level was still Silver Level. That fine line was like an insurmountable chasm, firmly holding it back, leaving it no chance to resist a Golden Warrior. Not to mention that Ya'er, who was striking, was one of the best among Golden Warriors, and she almost effortlessly sent the Moon Spirit Leopard flying. Ya'er didn't waste words, she simply picked up her sword and charged towards the Moon Spirit Leopard. At this moment, the roles of attack and defense had been reversed! Ya'er approached the Moon Spirit Leopard and delivered an utterly ordinary diagonal slash. The Moon Spirit Leopard, however, sensed a whiff of death in Ya'er's simple attack and didn't dare to take it head-on, managing to dodge to the side with its advantage in speed to avoid Ya'er's strike. Ya'er's brow furrowed slightly; although the Moon Spirit Leopard was a Silver Level Magic Beast, it was just that bit faster than herself, a Golden Warrior, which was really annoying. If the Moon Spirit Leopard knew what Ya'er was thinking, it might have cried out loud. I am a high-level Magic Beast specialized in agility, just a bit faster than you in this aspect because your main attribute is strength. What more do you want? But Ya'er, destined to be a Legendary Warrior in the future, naturally had countermeasures up her sleeve. "Charge!" A faint white light flashed over Ya'er's body, and she hurtled towards the Moon Spirit Leopard at an incredibly fast speed. Before the Moon Spirit Leopard could react, Ya'er, who had already closed the distance, raised her longsword with delicate blue lightning gathering at the blade. "Thunderous Strike!" The Moon Spirit Leopard had almost no time to respond before it took the full force of this hit. Even the tough hide couldn't stop Ya'er's sharp slashing; a huge wound spread from the upper limb of the Moon Spirit Leopard to its abdomen, with dark red blood gushing out unchecked. The grievously injured Moon Spirit Leopard seemed to want to struggle, but the sporadic flashes of thunderous lightning paralyzed its entire body, making it completely immobile. Ya'er, who had taken down the Moon Spirit Leopard in just two moves, hummed in satisfaction, sheathed her longsword, and cheerfully ran over to Ailina to make sure her Elf Sister hadn't been injured during the chase. It was only then that Lis, Arsen, and Lunbos managed to catch up, looking somewhat helplessly at the Moon Spirit Leopard lying on the ground, nearly at its end. Feels like we're not really needed here, huh? "That's you guys, I did make a move." Lis glanced at Arsen, openly expressing his disdain for his shirking behavior. "What are you looking at!" Arsen punched Lis on the shoulder and walked towards Ailina and Ya'er.
